Chef de Mission Barbara Kendall chose Connor Bell to be flag bearer because “he performed extremely well in competition but he’s also one of the most outgoing and lovely people in the New Zealand Team. He’s friends with everyone, whether they be athletes or support staff, and I look forward to him carrying the New Zealand flag and beaming that big smile of his at the closing ceremony tonight!”
